Fi ure 1

Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost automatically, but should be

cleaned occasionally, Beforecleaning or defrosting, unplug the power cord from the

electrical outlet,

Between Defrostings

To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic scraper to remove frost.

Scrape with a pulling motion. Never use a metal instrument to remove frost.

Defrosting

It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when 1/4 to 1/2 inch of frost has

accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate faster on the upper part of the freezer

due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door isopened. Removefood

and leave the door open when defrosting the freezer.

On upright models with a defrost drain (Figure 1), remove the drain plug on the

inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out. To accessthe external drain tube

on models with a base panel, first remove the two screws from the base panel.

Locate the drain tube near the left center under the freezer. Placea shallow pan

under the drain tube. Defrost water will drain out. Check pan occasionally sowater

does not overflow. Replace the drain plug when defrosting and cleaning are

completed. If the drain is left open, warm air may enter the freezer.

On chest models with adefrost drain, placeashallow pan beneath the drain outlet

(Figure 2). A one half inch garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer

directly into a floor drain (Figure 3). If your model isnot equipped with an adapter,

one can be purchased at most hardware stores. Pull out the drain plug inside the

freezer, and pull off the outside defrost drain plug (Figure 4 on following page).

Defrost water will drain out. Check pan occasionally so water does not overflow.

Replace the drain plugs when defrosting is completed.

the freezer and become entrapped.

• On models without a defrost drain, placetowels or newspapers on the freezer

bottom to catch the frost, The frost will loosen and fall, Remove towels and/or

newspapers,

• Ifthe frost issort, remove by using a plastic scraper, If frost isglazed and hard, fill

deep panswith hot water and placethem on the freezer bottom, Closethe freezer

door, Frostshould soften in about 15 minutes, Repeat this procedure if necessary,

Cleaning the Inside

After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the freezer with a solution of two

tablespoons of baking soda in one quart (1.136 litres) warm water. Rinseand dry.

Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the

controls, or any electrical parts.

Wash the removable parts and door gasket with the baking soda solution mentioned

above, or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic

scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do

not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.

Cleaning the Outside

Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinsewell and wipe

dry with a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food.

Vacation and Moving Tips

Short Vacations: Leavethe freezer operating during vacations of lessthan three

weeks,

Long Vacations: If the freezer will not be usedfor several months, remove all food

and unplug the power cord, Clean and dry the interior thoroughly, To prevent

odor and mold growth, leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking it open if

necessary,

Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet, Removefoods, then

defrost, and clean the freezer, Secureall loose items such asbasepanel, baskets,

and shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage, In the moving

vehicle, secure freezer in an upright position, and secure to prevent movement,

Also protect outside of freezer with a blanket, or similar item,

Power Failure/

Freezer Failure

Do not open freezer door

unnecessarily if freezer is

off for several hours.

If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the

freezer iskept closed, If the power failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds

of dry iceinto the freezer every 24 hours, Look in the Yellow Pagesunder "Dry Ice,"

"Dairies," or "Ice Cream Manufacturers" for local dry icesuppliers, Always wear

gloves and use caution when handling dry ice,

If the freezer has stopped operating, see "Freezer does not run" in the Avoid

Service Checklist Section of this manual, If you cannot solve the problem, call an

authorized servicer immediately,

If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow the directions above for the use

of dry ice during a power failure, If necessary, take the food to a local locker plant

until the freezer is ready to operate, Look in the Yellow Pagesunder "Frozen Food

Locker Plants,"

Energy Saving Ideas

• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat

producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight,

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer,

Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer, Foods that freeze

too slowly may lose quality, or spoil,

• Besure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in

the freezer, This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer,

• Freezer shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper

toweling, Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less

efficient,

• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches,

Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as

possible,

Certains congelateurs verticaux sont sans givre et se degivrent donc automatiquement.

IIfaut cependant les nettoyer de temps a autre. Avant de decongeler ou de nettoyer,

debranchez le cordon de la prise.

Entre les degivrages

Pour eviter le degivrage frequent, enlevez de temps a autre le givre a I'aide d'un

grattoir en plastique. Grattez en remontant. Ne vous servez jamais d'instrument

metallique.

Degivrage

IIest important de degivrer et de nettoyer le congelateur des presence de 6 a 12 mm

(1/4 a 1/2 pouce) de givre. Le givre s'accumule plus rapidement sur la partie superieure

du congelateur par suite de I'entree d'air humide et tiede Iorsque la porte ou le couvercle

est ouvert. Enlevez la nourriture et laissez la porte ou le couvercle ouvert Iors du

degivrage.

Sur les modeles verticaux avec vidange de I'eau de degivrage (figure 1), enlevez

le bouchon de vidange au fond du congelateur en le tirant vers vous. Le tuyau de

vidange est situe pres du centre gauche sous le congelateur, derriere le panneau

inferieur. Placez un plat creux sous le tuyau de vidange. L'eau du degivrage va s'y

ecouler. Verifiez de temps a autre que I'eau ne deborde pas. Remettez le bouchon

en place Iorsque degivrage et nettoyage sont termines. Si la vidange est restee

ouverte, de I'air chaud peut entrer dans le congelateur.

Sur les modeles horizontaux avec vidange de I'eau de degivrage, placez un

recipient creux ou le diviseur/plateau de degivrage (fourni avec certains modeles)

sous I'orifice de vidange (figure 2). Un adaptateur de tuyau dejardin d'un demi-

pouce peut servir a vidanger le congelateur directement dans un drain de plancher

(figure 3). Si votre modele n'est pas muni d'un adaptateur, veuillez en acheter un

n'importe quelle quincaillerie. Sortez la bonde a I'interieur du congelateur et

enlevez le bouchon de vidange exterieur (figure 4). L'eau du degivrage va s'ecouler.

Verifiez de temps a autre que I'eau ne deborde pas. Remettez en place le bouchon

de vidange et la bonde une fob le degivrage termine.

DEVIDANGE

Si le congelateur est

laisse ouvert pendant des conges, I

s'assurer que des enfants ne puissent

rester emprisonnes a I'interieur.

• Sur les modeles sans vidange de I'eau de degivrage, placez des serviettes ou

journaux au fond du congelateur pour retenir le givre. Le givre vase detacher et

tomber. Enlevez les serviettes et/ou lesjournaux.

Si le givre est mou, enlevez-le a I'aide d'un grattoir plastique. S'il est dur et brillant,

remplissez de profonds recipients avec de I'eau chaude et placezqes au fond du

congelateur. Fermez le congelateur. Le givre devrait se ramollir en 15 minutes

environ. Au besoin, repetez cette derniere operation.

Nettoyage de I'interieur

Apres le degivrage, nettoyez les surfaces internes du congelateur avec une solution

composee de deux cuilleres a soupe de bicarbonate de soude dans 1 litre (1 pinte) d'eau

tiede. Rincez et sechez. Essorez bien votre chiffon ou votre eponge pour nettoyer autour

des commandes ou des pieces electriques.

Lavez les pieces amovibles et lejoint de la porte avec une solution de bicarbonate de

soude comme ci-dessus, ou de I'eau tiede additionnee de detergent doux. Rincez et

sechez. N'utilisezjamais de tampon a recurer metallique, brosse, produit nettoyant

abrasif ou solution alcaline sur une surface du congelateur, quelle qu'elle soit. Ne lavez

pas les parties amovibles dans un lavewaisselle.

Nettoyage de I'exterieur

Lavezla caisse a I'eau tiede additionnee de detergent liquide doux. Rincez bien et sechez

avec un linge propre et doux. Remettez en place les pieces et la nourriture.

Conseils de vacances et demenagement

Courtes vacances: Laissezle congelateur fonctionner pendant des conges de une

trois semaines.

Longues vacances" Si le congelateur n'est pas utilise pendant plusieurs mois, enlevez

toute la nourriture et debranchez le cordon. Nettoyez et sechez I'interieur

soigneusement. Laissez la porte ou le couvercle legerement ouvert en bloquant au

besoin, pour empecher moisissure et odeur.

Bemenagement" Debranchez le cordon. Enlevez toute le nourriture, degivrez le

congelateur et nettoyezqe. A I'aide du ruban, attachez les pieces movables aux

congelateur pour empecher dommage. Dans le vehicule, le congelateur dolt etre dans

une position verticaux. Assurez la securite du congelateur, pour empecher le

mouvement. Couvrez I'exterieur avec une couverture, ou autre article similaire, pour

protegerqe.

Panne de courant/

panne du congelateur

Ne pasouvrir le congelateur

inutilement en casde panne

de courant.

En cas de panne de courant, les aliments resteront congeles au moins 24 heures si le

congelateur reste ferme. Si la panne continue, placez sept ou huit livres de glace seche

dans lecongelateur routes les 24 heures. Cherchez dans les pagesjaunes les fournisseurs

sous <<Glaceseche>>,<<Laiteries>>ou <<Fabricantsde creme glacee>>. Portez toujours des

gants et soyez prudent Iors de la manipulation de glace seche.

Si le congelateur s'est arrete de fonctionner, reportez-vous a "Le congelateur ne

fonctionne pas" dans la liste de contrOle antFpanne. Si vous ne pouvez resoudre le

probleme, appelez immediatement un reparateur autorise.

N'ouvrez pas le congelateur inutilement. S'il ne fonctionne pas pendant plusieurs

heures, suivez les instructions ci-dessus traitant de I'utilisation de glace seche. Au besoin,

apportez vosaliments dans un depot frigorifique Iocaljusqu'a ce que le congelateur soit

pret a fonctionner. Regardez dans les pagesjaunes sous <<EntrepOtsfrigorifiques pour

aliments congeles>>.

Conseils pour

economiser I'energie

• Placez le congelateur dans I'endroit le plus froid de la piece, eloigne de la lumiere

du soleil et des conduits de chauffage ou appareils producteurs de chaleur.

• Laissez lesaliments chauds refroidir a la temperature de la piece avant de les ranger

dans le congelateur. La surcharge du congelateur oblige le compresseur

fonctionner plus Iongtemps. Les aliments qui congelent trop doucement risquent

de perdre leur qualite ou de se gSter.

• Enveloppez correctement lesaliments et essuyez les contenants avant de les ranger

darts le congelateur. Ceci diminue la condensation a I'interieur du congelateur.

• Les clayettes ne devraient pas etre recouvertes de papier aluminium, papier cire ou

essuie-tout. Ces revetements entravent la circulation de I'air froid, ce qui diminue

I'efficacite du congelateur.

• Rangez bien les aliments et etiquetezqes pour reduire les ouvertures et les

recherches prolongees. Prenez autant d'articles que possible en meme temps et

fermez aussitOt le congelateur.
